Some existing cooking robots achieve automatic food dispensing by tilting the pot, but this method has the following problems: For the pot to rotate, the heating mechanism must be connected to it, resulting in a large overall size for both the pot and heating mechanism. This leads to a large space requirement during rotation, making the entire machine too bulky. Furthermore, due to the large rotation amplitude, the heating mechanism's wiring is difficult to route and prone to tangling. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the existing technological situation by providing a drum wok and a cooking robot that, while automatically dispensing food, greatly reduces the space occupied during the wok's rotation and the rotation amplitude of the heating device. This not only reduces the overall size of the cooking robot but also avoids the heating device's excessive rotation amplitude from affecting its wiring.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A drum wok includes a wok, a stirring rib, and a heating device; The wok has a cylindrical cavity structure and a first opening on its circumference.

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, a drum wok includes a wok 1, a stirring rib 3, and a heating device 2.

[0019] The wok 1 has a cylindrical cavity structure and a first opening 101 on its circumference. The wok 1 has a rotating shaft on both the left and right ends. The central axis of the rotating shaft coincides with the central axis of the wok 1. The wok 1 is provided with a barrier 4 connected to the edge of the first opening 101.

[0020] The stirring rib 3 is rotatably set inside the wok 1, and its rotation axis coincides with the central axis of the wok 1.

[0021] The heating device 2 is provided with a heating groove 201 that is compatible with the wok 1. The left and right sides of the heating device 2 are rotatably connected to the rotating shaft on the wok 1 through the hanging arm 5. The wok 1 is embedded in the heating groove 201 on the heating device 2, and the arc surface of the wok 1 is parallel to the arc surface of the heating groove 201.

[0022] According to the above design, after food is put into the wok 1 through the first opening 101, the wok 1 can be heated by the heating device 2, and the food can be stir-fried by the stirring rib 3. When the wok 1 rotates around the axis set thereon, it can rotate relative to the heating device 2. When the wok 1 rotates around the axis set thereon until the enclosure 4 abuts against the heating device 2, it will drive the heating device 2 to rotate.

[0023] The specific design for heating device 2 is as follows: The heating device 2 has a hollow structure, and excitation coils are wound on the inner walls corresponding to the arc surfaces of the heating device 2 and the heating tank 201, as well as on the left and right end faces of the heating device 2. Specifically, the excitation coils are first wound on the inner walls corresponding to the arc surfaces of the heating device 2 and the heating tank 201, and then alternately wound on the inner walls corresponding to the arc surfaces of the heating device 2 and the heating tank 201 and on the inner walls corresponding to the left and right end faces of the heating device 2 and the heating tank 201.

[0024] It should be noted that the high-frequency power conversion device and controller in heating device 2 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0025] According to the above design, since the excitation coils are evenly distributed below the heating tank 201, the heating power of the wok 1 is very uniform, reducing the phenomenon of burning food during the cooking process.

[0026] To optimize heat dissipation, a fan 6 is provided at the bottom of the heating device 2, and the fan 6 is connected to the inner cavity of the heating device 2. Several first air ducts 202 are provided at the front and rear edges of the heating device 2 and the heating tank 201 respectively; several second air ducts 203 are provided on both the left and right sides of the heating device 2.

[0027] In the above technical solution, preferably, an oil baffle plate 6 is provided on the heating device 2 above the first air duct 202, and the oil baffle plate 6 can block the oil splashing in the wok 1.

[0028] For application purposes, please refer to Figures 6-10 As shown, a cooking robot includes a main body 7, the aforementioned drum wok, an attitude adjustment device 14, and a stirring drive device 13.

[0029] The main body 7 has a cooking cavity, and its front side has a second opening 701 communicating with the cooking cavity, and its top has a third opening 702 communicating with the cooking cavity. Specifically, the main body 7 is a sheet metal + frame structure, and the interior of each side wall can be used as a mounting chamber for various components. The second opening 701 serves as a dish outlet channel, and the third opening 702 serves as a food ingredient delivery channel.

[0030] The wok 1 is rotatably mounted between the left and right side walls of the cooking cavity in the main body 7 via the rotating shafts provided on its left and right end faces.

[0031] The posture adjustment device 14 is installed in the main body 7 and is connected to the rotating shaft of the wok 1. It is used to drive the wok 1 to rotate in the cooking cavity to adjust the orientation of the first opening 101 on the wok 1.

[0032] The stirring drive device 13 is installed in the main body 7 and is connected to the stirring rib 3 to drive the stirring rib 3 to rotate inside the wok. Specifically, the rotating shaft provided on one end face of the wok 1 has a through hole, and the stirring drive device 13 is connected to the rotating shaft of the stirring rib 3 through the through hole.

[0033] According to the above design, when the wok 1 is in the stir-frying posture, the first opening 101 on the wok 1 is adjusted so that it faces upward. After the ingredients are put into the wok 1 through the first opening 101, the wok 1 is heated by the heating device 2. At the same time, the ingredients are stir-fried by the stirring rib 3. When the wok 1 is in the serving posture, a plate is placed in advance through the second opening 701 on the main body 7. The wok 1 is adjusted so that the first opening 101 on the wok 1 faces the second opening 701 on the main body 7 (slanted downward), and the automatic serving is completed.

[0034] In summary, this invention designs the wok 1 as a cylindrical cavity structure, which is rotatably mounted within the cooking cavity of the main body 7. The orientation of the first opening 101 on the wok 1 is adjusted via the attitude adjustment device 14, enabling automatic switching between cooking and serving postures, thus achieving automatic serving. Furthermore, the heating device 2 is designed as a suspended structure. During the initial process of adjusting the orientation of the first opening 101 on the wok 1 via the attitude adjustment device 14, the heating device 2 does not rotate with the wok 1 throughout the entire process. It only rotates with the wok 1 when the enclosure 4 on the wok 1 comes into contact with it. According to this design, this invention significantly reduces the space occupied during the rotation of the wok 1 and the rotation amplitude of the heating device 2, thereby reducing the overall size of the cooking robot and preventing excessive rotation of the heating device 2 from affecting its wiring.

[0035] In the above technical solution, preferably, it also includes a pot washing system, which includes a valve body 12, a booster pump 11 and a number of cleaning nozzles 10. The valve body 12 is connected between the pump inlet of the booster pump 11 and the water source. The pump outlet of the booster pump 11 is connected to each cleaning nozzle 10. The cleaning nozzles 10 are arranged at the bottom of the cooking chamber in the main body 7. Figure 9 The pipe between valve body 12, booster pump 11 and cleaning nozzle 10 is not shown.

[0036] The main body 7 has a water tank 703 at the bottom of the cooking cavity, and the water tank 703 has a drain outlet. The water tank 703 is used to collect the wastewater from rinsing the wok 1. The water tank 703 has a filter screen 9, which is used to filter food residue and prevent the drain outlet from being blocked.

[0037] According to the above design, when the wok 1 is in the washing position, the first opening 101 on the wok 1 is adjusted so that it faces downwards, the valve body 12 is opened, water is introduced and pressurized by the booster pump 11, and then sprayed out from the cleaning nozzle 10 to rinse the wok 1. To ensure the washing effect, the stirring rib 3 can rotate synchronously at this time.

[0038] In the above technical solution, preferably, it also includes a food dispensing device 8, which is disposed on the top of the main body 7 and is used to dispense food into the wok 1 through the second opening 702 provided on the main body 7.

[0039] In this embodiment, for example, the food dispensing device 8, in conjunction with the food box pre-loaded with food, automatically dispenses the food into the wok 1.

[0040] It should be noted that, in order to achieve manual and / or automatic control, a control display screen for human-machine interaction is also included. The control display screen is installed on the host 7 and is electrically connected to the food feeding device 8, heating device 2, stirring drive device 13, posture adjustment device 14, valve body 12 and booster pump 11.

[0041] Of course, the above are only preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of application of this utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made to the principle of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
